Abstract:
The role of computing technologies has been expanding, and our lifestyles will be significantly influenced by these technologies. Refining the meaning of real space by incorporating virtuality through ubiquitous computing technologies is a very powerful concept because people’s senses are enhanced, making them potentially see something that may not exist in the real space. For example, human eyesight can be altered using head-mounted displays, which modify real-world views captured by video cameras with mixed reality technologies. These approaches are also useful in influencing human behaviors that make a variety of new types of digital services possible. The paper presents four case studies to enhance the meaning of the real space through incorporating virtuality and proposes a design guideline extracted from the experience with their development.
